I was introduced to pornography at an early age, probably around 12 or so.

I was in a genuine Romans 7 quandary: the things I didn’t want to do, I did; but the things I wanted to do, I couldn’t do (vv. 14–20). I found myself completely and utterly stuck.
I got married when I was 21 years old. Anna and I were profoundly happy together, and I thought my happiness would cure my problem. Unfortunately, I quickly found out that’s not the way it works.
